RE: Pool - johnno56 - 11-03-2022

I added the comilelog.txt file because the 'c++ compile" error, at the bottom of the IDE, referred to it. I agree "squiggles and whatnot"but there you go. That was all that was produced.

I am now running QB64pe 3.4.0... I have run QB64 programs written at least two years ago and several others recently added to this site, using 3.4.0, and they all ran without issue.

I am currently using Linux Mint Cinnamon 20.3 (64 bit). I am intending on upgrading to LM 21. That was released in August 22 and I usually wait for a few months, just in case of a 'oops we forgot something', before committing to another version. When was your current version of Manjaro released and installed? I am not convinced that it is a 'distro' issue.

One possible problem, and I am grasping at straws here, Manjaro (current) - Arch-based uses glibc version 2.36 whereas LM20.3 and LM21 (ubuntu-based) uses glibc 2.35

So, upgrading to LM21, will produce the same result (assuming of course the problem is glibc) I am not a fan of Arch-based distros, but I do have a spare drive that I can put Manjaro on and give it a try... at least that will eliminate either a distro or library problem.

I still have this niggling thought that, if the problem is a combination of QB64pe and the distro, then why doesn't all the older programs fail? After all, they all have to compile (using 3.4.0), before they can be executed.... Now my brain hurts... I need more coffee.. All this thinking without breakfast OR coffee... I may not be thinking straight... (bplus. Not even a chuckle!)

the compile error you have occurs when the filename has parentheses. remove them and it should work...

RE: Pool - johnno56 - 11-03-2022

Forgive me if I sound confused, chances are I am, but, what parentheses? I initially cut and pasted the listing from this site into the IDE then F5. The last time I ran it, using 3.4.0, I actually saved the game first as, 'pool.bas' then F5. I do not recall adding parentheses to any filename...

RE: Pool - mnrvovrfc - 11-03-2022

You're right, it shouldn't have to do with which distro. If you don't want Arch nor any of its descendants then don't install it, stay with what you have. This is a very strange issue you're having indeed. The "compilelog.txt" doesn't give any error information; that should be a bug in the programming system. There is no statement in the OP program like the ones we've recently discovered which needed a bit more patience with the beginning of program run, for us Linux users.

I have to update Manjaro regularly; MATE D.E. version isn't "officially" supported but it has served me well. The ISO was released in Aug-2022 as well and my system has been updated at least five times, about every week or two. Again, this problem shouldn't have mattered which distro you or I were using.

RE: Pool - OldMoses - 11-03-2022

I'm thinking the addition of a cue stick graphic will help make the interface a little more intuitive. As the power is ramped up the cue will back away from the ball. It only appears once the power is set beyond zero, and backs away from the cue ball proportional to the power setting. I feel that it gives a much more instant visual of the shot orientation than a couple of lines did. Originally, I though I could make the cue stick a hardware image too, but I discovered that hardware images don't play well with _MAPTRIANGLE in Rotozoom3. Since I made the balls hardware images too, that sort of backs me into a corner as far as doing rolling effects. Not that I'd have a clue how to.

And I sort of broke my rule of no trig by resorting to _ATAN2 to pass the cue stick angle to Rotozoom. I must go and do penance...

I commented out the blue dashed ball path line just to see how it felt without it, but left it in the code {line 212} for those who desire it. 

The ghost ball remains since it's just too damn useful for aiming and checking shot possibilities.

For Johnno
   

But as you can see I am running in Wine. Old versions of QB64pe had a problem with the single quote ' mark for comments in title, maybe your Linux still does?
Try mod of title "OM_Hustle"?

RE: Pool - vince - 11-04-2022

nice operating system, bplus

RE: Pool - johnno56 - 11-04-2022

Ok. I may have fixed the problem that "I" am having...

Did it "old school".  Commented out 'every' line of code. F5. Voila! Blank screen. No errors... lol

Unremarked the subroutines and functions... same result... Long story short... 

I was left with only the section of code that dealt with the setting up of the table size. Bypassed that particular 'if...else...end if' and hard coded the table size (xtable =  1440: ytable = 720) and the game 'sprang to life'.

   

For some reason, my machine does not seem to handle '_DesktopWidth' and/or _DesktopHeight' very well. As to why? I will leave 'that' one for those who are more clever that I. Thank you all for your suggestions and effort. Much appreciated.

Very glad you have resolved it yourself. We others using Linux were having a similar issue; the "freeglut" doesn't seem to like "automatic" settings forcing width and height of screen to be hard-coded and, otherwise, it needs more time to draw a graphics window. "freeglut" or the threading code related to it might need an update for the large screens that are becoming more common in recent times.

@bplus since this is your forum... but I caught you using the "official" QB64 with Wine, ha ha ha.

I just noticed the program I looked at had a different look by a different author, that's why at first I proposed for "_DELAY 1" to be put just before "SCREEN _NEWIMAGE()", and never noticed the "_DESKTOPWIDTH" and "_DESKTOPHEIGHT" being used earlier.

RE: Pool - OldMoses - 11-04-2022

Wow! I do hope you find it worth the effort. Glad you got it straightened out, though. I use _DESKTOP... all the time and haven't experienced any issues. I was essentially going for a 2:1 table ratio that made maximum use of the screen without being "fullscreen". I've always found fullscreen mode to be a PITA, especially if there's no easy route out of a program. I have noticed an occasional lock up with this program, so that's just as well.

EDIT: I notice by the screen shot that your ball numbers have a much better resolution. I may have to try that setting.
